Part E_2 Reading

   
Gender inequality
Males and females have physical and social differences. But girls and women need equal rights and opportunities without discrimination. Unfortunately, there are some gender issues around wage inequality, employment, physical violence, sexual harassment, marriage, and pregnancy.

Data shows that 49 countries still lack laws protecting women from domestic violence, whereas 39 nations prevent daughters from having an equal inheritance compared to sons. In 87 countries, 1 out of 5 women and girls under the age of 50 experienced physical and sexual violence by their partners within the last 12 months. Harmful practices like child marriage steal the childhoods of 15 million girls under the age of 18 every year.

Women do 2.6 times more unpaid care and domestic work than men, which leads to lower earnings and less time for non-work activities.

Part E_3 Reading

1. What will happen if women do more unpaid work than men?

Part E_5 Reading

   
The issue of gender equality in Iran
Women and girls are still currently treated as second-class citizens in Iran. The expert says in a report to the Human Rights Council that thousands of child marriages occur among girls aged between 10 and 19 each year.

By law, girls as young as 13 can marry. Not only that, but younger girls can also legally marry with judicial and paternal consent. Based on official government data, over 16,000 girls aged between 10 and 14 have married in half a year.

mortality rate

Although there has been some progress in education and citizenship rights, Iranian women are still discriminated against in other areas like marriage, divorce, employment, and culture. Iranian women are either restricted or need permission from their husbands or guardians.

More security measures against violence must be taken to protect women and children.
